ktor-client add toString() for generic params (!14717) · Merge requests · OpenAPI Tools / openapi-generator

Created by: Rattenkrieg

ktor-client doesn't support building form request from arbitrary parameters: it will happily consume values of predefined types such as String, Number etc but will fail in runtime (!) at a given line in case of say List<T> or Instant. https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/blob/fb161cd7d268f2c0f62982d82d9264ca920173ad/ktor-client/ktor-client-core/common/src/io/ktor/client/request/forms/formDsl.kt#L63
